This is theory. In practice, however, it did not work for me. I was doing these steps and Firmware Restoration Utility failed to detect my router, giving the message “device is not in rescue mode”. After fighting several hours I decided to do two desperate things:

1. Switch off router for 15 minutes and let it rest 🙂

2. Set adapter IP to 192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.1

After this everything worked like a charm. I hope these observations will be useful for someone.
